It was Holocaust Memorial Day on Saturday and this is just the most extraordinary piece of TV
It was Holocaust Memorial Day on Saturday and someone shared this clip from That’s life 30 years ago and it’s as powerful now as it was then, and always will be.
Sir Nicholas Winton saved the lives of 669 children who were to be sent to a Nazi death camp.
In 1988 he was on a BBC program called "That's Life".

Yes, indeed. He had told no-one, and it only came to light when- I think it was his daughter- found some of the old documents. That says a lot about him as well, I think. Just quietly did the right thing.

I've seen this a hundred times and a hundred times I remember that even within the greatest horror, humanity cannot be extinguished #HolocaustMemorialDay https://t.co/W4CnxZE2GL

It never gets any less life-affirming. He is in a pantheon of people who acted above & beyond to prove we can change the world if we try!
